However, I did need to relocate to a seat further from the stage to get good acoustics. One issue with these concerts; the main headliner is always announced, but you have no idea who will accompany the headliner talent; it seems like the headliner assembles the rest of the band at the very last minute, based on who in the area happens to be available. I lucked out with great bass and drum players.

My husband and I hired Nova Jazz as a quartet for our wedding in spring of 2026 and they were…read morewonderful to work with! Easy to communicate and plan with and their performance really elevated our reception. We let them know what kind of vibe and tempo we liked ahead of time and they did the rest choosing songs to play for the reception to keep things upbeat without being overpowering. Daniel checked in with us at various points throughout the night to ensure the vibes were right and if we needed any adjustments. Nova Jazz also was able to play a special request song outside of their listed repertoire for our first dance which we really appreciated and was very special for us. We'd recommend them for weddings and any other special events when you want extra pizzazz!

Working with Daniel and his band was all around an amazing experience! After reading all the…read morereviews and listening to a few of their videos online, I knew I wanted Nova Jazz Band to play at my company's 30th Anniversary celebration I was planning. TLDR; they exceeded every expectation from start to finish, and Daniel made everything completely stress-free. From our very first correspondence, Daniel was very friendly, quick to respond, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. The music was phenomenal - very classy and perfect for our occasion. The band totally nailed the vibe. Daniel's attention to detail was next-level. He thought of all the little things that usually fall through the cracks - from what songs should play during the band's breaks, to how the sound system was set up, to which speakers the recorded music should come from. He even coordinated with the venue director to make sure there wouldn't be a single hiccup. Basically, he handled every possible thing before I could even think to worry about it. Everything ran like clockwork and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Daniel and his team went above and beyond in every way. I can't wait to hire them for a future event! Highly, highly recommend!

The place offers a good variety of food options and a solid selection of beers and cocktails. There's plenty of seating : bar stools, regular tables, and a few high-tops. The band that night was superb. They played lots of classics, and one of my favorites was "Valerie." I got a cranberry vodka, a bit watered down for my taste, but overall not a big deal. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something fun and easygoing to do in the area.

Right when we walked in, I went to the bar. I asked the bartender if they had Modelo. He said no, so I asked what beers they did have. In my experience, bartenders usually recommend a couple of popular options. Instead, he just pointed to the beer list behind him. I wasn't wearing my glasses or contacts, so I nervously laughed and said " oh sorry i can't read that " His response caught me completely off guard, "Want me to read it for you? Ask your man standing right next to you to do it," while pointing at my boyfriend. The attitude and comment felt unnecessary and rude. I was simply asking for a recommendation, and I've never had a bartender speak to me that way. It was in such an odd tone. The interaction instantly made me feel uncomfortable. We stayed just long enough to finish our beers and listen to the band for a few minutes before leaving. Honestly, I didn't even want to spend money there after that interaction, but I felt awkward enough that I just wanted to leave without causing a scene. After reading other reviews, it seems we're not the only people who've had a negative experience with the bartender. It's a shame because the live music was enjoyable, but based on the service alone, I wouldn't recommend this place. Not worth it.

Needs more time in the barrel. Some tips: - It's very swanky. - I recommend reserving early so that you can get a seat against the wall; otherwise you get bonked every time fat people walk through the isle. - If you can't score a seat, stop by around 9:00 when the band takes a break after the first set; older people tend to leave at that time, and you can grab an open seat. - Just like every live music venue, the sound system is a little too loud, and can damage your hearing. Wear earplugs meant for concerts.
